It was when he was meeting Kenyan delegation.

There was gunfire which rocked the Mogadishu hotel where the newly elected Somali president was meeting with Kenya's foreign minister and other dignitaries.
At least eight people were dead. Al-Shabab, an Islamist group battling the Somali government, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The group has opposed Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's election, saying it had been manipulated by the West.

"We are responsible for the attack against the so-called president and the delegation," Ali Mohamud Rage, the spokesman, told AFP news agency.

President Hassan was present when two suicide bombers rammed their explosives-ladden vehicles into the hotel gate. Unconfirmed reports tell Garowe Online that a senior Kenyan official was present at the hotel along with former Somali Prime Minister Dr. Abdiweli Mohamed Ali Gaas.

Casualty figures could not be verified, but witnesses reported a horror scene in the aftermath of car bombers. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but Al Shabaab terrorist group has been responsible for a violent history of suicide bombs, roadside explosions and targeted assassinations in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia.

New Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud won a landslide parliamentary vote against former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed during a vote on Monday, at which point he was sworn in as the new President of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
